October 2014 PlayStation Plus Free Games Announcement Expected on October 1 (Update)

With the first Tuesday of October not happening until the 7th, we’ve known that the October 2014 PlayStation Plus free games in North America wouldn’t go live until then. It appears this late start for the month of October will also affect Europe, as the free games in the Instant Game Collection are currently scheduled to go live there on Wednesday, October 8.

This news comes from European Blog Manager Fred Dutton, who said on Saturday:

At present it looks like the next batch of Plus games will go live on October 8, so look out for the announcement on or around October 1.

If he’s correct, we should find out the six PlayStation Plus free games (in addition to the DriveClub PlayStation Plus Edition) for October 2014 next week on either Wednesday or Thursday.

Dutton also revealed that a DriveClub post detailing wheel support “should be later this week, or early next.”
